    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    Theodore Meyer):
    This matter
    is before the Board on an October
    27,
    1989
    motion for clarification,
    filed
    by petitioner Roadmaster
    Industries,
    Inc.
    Roadmaster
    seeks clarification of
    the Board’s
    October
    18,
    1989 order, which extended Roadmaster’s variance.
    The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has not filed any
    response.
    On October
    18,
    1989,
    the Board granted Roadmaster’s motion
    to extend its variance from
    35
    Ill. Adm. Code 215.204(j)(3),
    which governs emissions
    of volatile organic material
    (VOM).
    Roadmaster now asks the Board to clarify that order.
    Roadmaster
    states that
    it had petitioned for extension of
    the variance and
    for
    a modification of that variance, but that the Board’s October
    18 order did not address the request
    for modification.
    The
    request for modification
    is based upon a change
    in the methods
    used
    to calculate VOM emissions,
    from a volumetric method
    to
    a
    solids-based method.
    Therefore, Roadmaster asks the Board to
    reissue the variance with the emission limitations
    recalculated
    to reflect the change
    in calculation methods.
    Roadmaster’s motion for clarification
    is granted.
    The
    variance
    is revised
    to reflect the calculation change.
    Roadmaster’s VOM emissions from its existing black and white
    flowcoating operations are not to exceed a weekly average of
    5.9
    pounds per gallon of coating.
    The variance previously limited
    the emissions to 3.9
    lb/gal
    for
    the white flowcoat line and to
    4.8 lb/gal
    for the black flowcoat line.
    ORDER
    Petitioner,
    Roadmaster Corporation,
    is hereby granted
    variance from 35
    Ill.
    Adrn.
    Code 215.204(j)
    until October
    18,
    1990,
    or until completion of
    the rulemaking process
    in
    R88—19,
    whichever occurs first.
    The variance
    is subject
    to the following
    conditions:
    105 •1~7
    —2—
    1.
    Roadmaster Corporation’s Olney Plant shall not
    omit volatile organic material from its existing
    black and white flowcoating operations greater
    than a weekly average of 5.9 pounds per gallon of
    coating.
    2.
    Roadrnaster will conduct,
    or authorize,
    a study
    to
    examine the possibility of using internal offset
    to reach compliance.
    This study shall be
    concluded by May 31,
    1989 and the results shall be
    reported
    to:
    Air Pollution Control Division
    Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency
    2200 Churchill Road
    Springfield, Illinois 62794
    3.
    Roadmaster shall outline to search for compliance
    coatings and shall submit quarterly progress
    reports during the variance period,
    detailing its
    progress
    in coming into compliance,
    to the Agency
    at the address in condition
    (2) above.
    4.
    If at any time during this variance period,
    Roadmaster
    is informed by paint manufacturers that
    a coating material for the white flowcoater cannot
    be formulated, Roadmaster be required to proceed
    with an alternate compliance strategy during the
    term of the variance and be required to initiate
    the strategy by June 30,
    1989.
    5.
    Within 45 days of
    the date of this Order,
    Petitioner
    shall execute and forward
    to the Agency
    at the address
    in condition
    (2)
    above,
    a
    Certification of Acceptance and Agreement
    to be
    bound to all terms and conditions of this
    variance.
    The 45—day period shall be held in
    abeyance during any period that this matter
    is
    being appealed.
    If the Petitioner
    fails to
    execute and forward the agreement within
    45 days,
    the variance shall be void.
    The form of said
    Certification shall
    be as follows:
